Speaker dilema...

My front driver side stock componet speakers are blown. I went to a chevy dealer to see how much it was goign to cost to replace them, and they quoted me $100 dollars for 1 door not including the price of the speakers, so Im not going to do that. I have 2 12" type-r subs runnning off of a T10001bd amp. I do not have enough money to buy another amp to power component speakers, nor enough money to make an upgrade to my electrical system (aka new battery/alternator), so I cant run component speakers... Now to my actualy question. What coaxials would you recomend to reaplace my front component speakers? I dont really want to spend more than $150 on them. Sorry about the short novel but any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks

Re: Speaker dilema...

A 1 to 1.5kW substage (knowing the penchant of Power-series amps for considerably exceeding given ratings) with OEM Delco components - one side blown.

Errmm...I don't know if that quite the direction I'd have taken with that one but okay.

As far as more economy-oriented replacements what kind of power are we actually talking about here?

Is it the OEM headunit as well - so maybe 10w a channel or so?
Or are we talking an aftermarket HU with a whopping 18w or so usable per channel?

*sigh*

Blaupunkt's Velocity-series gear seems to be for the budget-minded as well as getting decent reviews. $130/shipped for authorized retail on the 6.5" set so I'd imagine they're much cheaper like on eBay or the like.

Don't know how well they like only HU power, though...

Rev-series Pioneer coaxs really might be your best bet as far as bang for the buck. Components really might be best saved for when you can adequately power them. Sure they'll technically work off of the HU alone but they'll be starving.

Re: Speaker dilema...

my dad has some premier pioneer coaxil speakers runnin off a pioneer HU and the mid-bass is pretty good you'd prolly be a lil surprised with the midbass from those speakers, and there not even the REVs, i would take the Revs over what my dad has

x2 on the REVs

id also consider the new Polk db series 6.5 coaxils are really nice too with good highs, clarity and decent midbass IMO, and they retail brand new for $99, and im sure u could even find em cheaper online lol
